Relief at the Pump

By LakeExpo.com Staff LakeExpo.com

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — Gas prices continue to inch downward at Lake marinas—a relief to boaters after the sudden, dizzying climb in May. Kelly's Port Marina offers the best prices for customers taking advantage of cash and preferred customer discounts. With those, 87 octane at Kelly's Port is $3.79. With similar discounts, gas at King's Pointe is at $3.89. Several other marinas around the Lake are offering unleaded gas and diesel, without discounts, at just under $4.00.
Kelly's Port also offers the cheapest 93 octane fuel, at $4.40 after discounts.
The sale of 91 octane fuel at marinas that have previously sold 93 octane  is marked in the list below with bold lettering.

Boat Race No Wake Zone

LAKE OF THE OZARKS, Mo. — The Missouri State Highway Patrol is creating a No-Wake Zone this Saturday and Sunday from the Bagnell Dam to the 3.5-mile marker for Lake Race 2013.

The following is from an MSHP press release:

The event will take place from approximately 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 8, 2013, and 12:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. on Sunday June 9, 2013. Boating traffic will be restricted to no wake, idle speed from the Bagnell Dam to approximately the 3.5-mile mark of the main channel due to the event. The no wake, idle speed restriction will begin 30 minutes prior to the event start time each day, and will continue to be enforced up to 30 minutes after the last race each day. The race course itself will stretch from the dam to approximately the 3-mile mark in the center of the main channel.

Every attempt will be made to minimize the inconvenience to boaters navigating in the area. It is anticipated boaters will be able to idle along the north and south shores of the main channel during the event. Caution should be exercised by all boaters traveling through the area due to congestion. Anchoring will be allowed at the mouth of coves adjacent to the race event, so long as ingress and egress to the coves is not hindered.

Highway Patrol marine operation troopers will be monitoring boating traffic in the area, and will be available to assist the boating public, if necessary. Boaters are reminded to designate a sober boat operator, and if passengers are drinking alcohol while out on the water, make sure they do so responsibly.

The Patrol encourages motorists and watercraft operators to protect themselves by making sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint and everyone in the vessel is wearing an approved life jacket. Click It 4 Life and Wear It!! The public can contact the Highway Patrol toll-free at 1-800-525-5555 or on a cellular phone at *55.
